Anybody know why 240.0.0.0/4 is not used? It currently blocked by many routers/firewalls but it was possible to start "unreserving" process long time ago and use this net by now.
- jlgaddis 9y agoEven if they started giving it out, it would be next to useless due to all the legacy network gear that wouldn't play with it.
